<p>Hi. I've seen some people using Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) to write Rust codes. They are Windows users but their compiler host is x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu. One of them was wondering which answer he should choose for "What platform(s) do you develop on?": Windows, Linux, or both?</p>
<p>I guess we might want to add "Windows (WSL)" to the platform list in addition to "Windows"?</p>
